Internet Giving Benchmarking Analysis Online giving is still small when compared to direct mail
giving. Online donors are younger and have higher incomes
than traditional, primarily direct mail donors. Online giving has become an increasingly significant
source of new donor acquisition. Online donors have slightly lower retention rates overall
than traditional donors. Online giving is not a strong renewal channel; every
year, large numbers of online donors migrate away from online giving and to other channels, primarily direct mail.
Donors in the southwest and mountain regions of the United States are disproportionately more likely to give online.
Online Audience
Communicating with different age groups online Email remains the most popular online
activity for older internet users (64+) Yet, email has loosing popularity with
younger generations (18-32) Generation Y (internet users age 18-32)
communicate through social network sites Teens use IM and Texting

raised $425,000 If just 0.5% of the 61 million golfers (305,000
golfers) purchase raffle tickets at the historical average of $25.00 per transaction, the amount raised would be $7,625,000.
The difference $7,625,000 - $425,000 = $7,200,000
